Evidence is emerging from photos and eyewitness accounts that Israel used chemical weapons against civilians in the recent military operation in Gaza. The world is also waking up to shocking revelations of Israel’s use of vicious substances against Palestinian civilians for several years now.
The Geneva Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons prohibit the use of phosphorous against civilian populations, or against military forces co-located with civilians.
Palestinian doctors have described in detail the viciousness of chemical weapons during previous Israeli military operations:
The bodies of dead Palestinian victims which reach the Al-Shifa Hospital disintegrate and crumble into liquid. The organs of the victims are totally burnt and carry small pieces of metal which cannot even be seen under the X-ray. Also, a white powder covers the internal organs of the victim’s bodies.
The doctors said when they try to open the injuries, they do not see the splinters which had inflicted the wounds, and could not identify the damaged area even after opening the bodies. The doctors said that the injuries must be inflicted by an unknown weapon as they had not seen injuries like that before. These are serious injuries which leave the victims shredded and covered with burns. Even in cases when the doctors medicate them successfully, the victims die after a couple of days for unknown reasons.
Israel has denied using phosphorous against Palestinians. It remains to be seen what the Israeli Defence Forces will say with mounting evidence of war crimes in Gaza.
